Foolishness

I love Android Wheatley designs that give him glasses bcs making a robot who needs glasses is fucking hilarious and also exactly the sort of nonsense the scientists at Aperture would pull

the glasses make him see worse but they told him if he takes them off he’ll go blind

If you create your test subject, they are inherently Science and everything they do is Science.

You’re getting far more Science per dollar

if you’re creating the test subject, then… what are you testing?? what happened to control groups??

That's a good point, though I still feel Aperture would look favorably upon this even if they had to use control groups.

What now is a control group was previously the only sort of subject they had, it's adding a whole factor to every test

it would be really funny if, when you raised a dinosaur in stardew valley, there was an outside chance it'd trigger a jurassic park situation

If there were something like that I might play the game

Not up my alley in its current state, but

Dinosaurs

You know what I want from mistborn era 3?? Memes. Shitty dank memes and reaction images like we had in the 2000s. Era 3 takes place in the "80s", which I assume to mean the dawn of Scadrian digital and internet culture. One of my favourite bits of era 2 were the broadsheets. They were a nice snapshot of the world's regular society, and what better way to convey that in era 3's timeframe than with memes and shitposts cremposts ashposts?

I want screenshots of blogs and forums and chatrooms.

We already meme our own historical and religious figures to hell and back, so imagine what it would be like on a planet like Scadrial.

Imagine turning a page and seeing this

Or this

wait does this mean that mistborn is the first planet to achieve internet

I think it might be Sel (Elantris planet)

Elantris is set a while before most of what's out (though there hasn't been a definitive statement on by how much), so they've got some amount of society already set up and presumably advancing. And it's been stated that Aons are like a magical programming language, so they've got a good set-up to get culturally used to such matters

My other guess might be Nalthis? I think there's supposed to be awakening involved with the computers once things get sci-fi

just learned about farming simulator

I mean, I already knew about it, but I just learned about it

Did you know that the target audience for Farming Simulator is actual real-world farmers? Because I didn’t. I just assumed that farmers probably don’t want to go home from a day of farming to do some (presumably highly inaccurate) virtual farming?

Like, imagine if the target audience for Power Washing Simulator was actual professional power washers.

Farming Sim gets sponsored by companies and shit to put ads in their games. But since the game is for farmers, all of the ads target farmers. Advertising products that, realistically, only farmers would be interested in. Aka John Deere tractors and shit.

There’s a fucking farming sim esports league. Where do they play? Agriculture conventions. not gaming conventions. agriculture conventions.

post cancelled this is way funnier

My buddy who is a farmer has the type of planter that drives itself across the field using GPS at a steady speed, and he just needs to turn it around at the end of each row. He added a little folding desk to his chair and plays farming simulator on it while he plants.

okay playing farming simulator while farming is crazy

Recursive gaming! Play a game while doing the thing the fans is about.

Play an H-game while having sex.

Play a baseball game while you wait around in the outfield.

Play Wolfenstein 3D while shooting nazis.

It's a great idea.

Tell me when the apocalypse starts so I can play Fallout

that thing about how removing the middle 2 panels of a cad comic makes it funnier is true 

holy shit

I can’t even imagine what meaningless filler went into panels 2-3.

oh my god these are actually funny

this is 100% true and once you remove the horrible filler bullshit its comedy gold

making this post to ask my moots politely for a hug

Consider it granted

My latest cartoon for New Scientist

Blue, and it all goes into an index fund. I continue to contribute as I enter the workforce, and am granted the funds to eventually work far less if at all.

Then, with my massively enhanced free time, practice art.
